LADIES, MISSES AND CHLDRENs'

/ LADIES MISSES AND CHILDRENs
I WRAPS. To say that we have the larg-
est and best selected line of Wraps that
we have ever had or has ever been
brought to this city, is not saying too
much. We would call your attention
to the fact that our Ladies' Wraps are
all new, with the exception of ten,
which we carried over from last year,
so when You sea cur stock you will not
see lot Of last years Wraps that we
could not sell, but we will show you
new fresh goods and styles. Then again,
they are so much cheaper than last year.
New Markets that sold at $500, we eau
now sell you at $500 and so on. The
newest aud most stylish are the. Plaid
Jackets. Rough Boucle Cloth Wraps
are not worn this season. In Fine
Wraps, Silk Plush will be the most
popular, we have them from $l1 90 up.
For Misses, Short Plaid Jackets and
New Markets are the thing, and in
Children's, the Long Plaid Cloaks will
be themost desirable. We have always
had the reputation of selling the best
and cheapest Wraps, and we intend to
maintain it, as we are now better pre-
pared than ever to do so. We can give
you elegant light so you can see what
we have, before you buy, as we defy any
one to beat our prices either in this mar
ket or any other.
